Education

By Kayla Pickrell, Intern
The Cynthiana-Harrison County Library kicked off their summer reading program with a “Fizz, Boom, Read,” as the program introduced a science theme, experimenting science and reading together.

Joshua Dillon Pulliam, Audrey Michelle Ramsey, and Alexander Lynn Barnett, all seniors at Harrison County High School, are the recipients of a $1,000 college scholarship from Harrison County Farm Bureau. Erin Michelle Bradford received a $1,000 college scholarship for the Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation.

McVEY
Cynthiana student Allison McVey was awarded a Master of Education from Lipscomb University at the conclusion of the spring semester 2014.
McVey, a graduate from Cynthiana, studied Instructional Practice and has completed all the credits necessary to graduate, said university President L. Randolph Lowry.
The May 3 commencement ceremony marked the largest graduating class in Lipscomb’s history as the university awarded 659 degrees.

Along with T-Ball, Little League, and the county fair, Kid’s College is one of Cynthiana’s annual anticipated summer activities.
July 7-11, there will be over 100 Kid’s College students on the Hilltop finding their classes, meeting new friends and re-connecting with old ones.
Lee Ann Cockrell, Kid’s College director, and Lennie Kinney have spent many hours planning and working out details in order to present new and exciting material for the ‘college’ kids.
